The market for organic grapes is booming! Between 2013 and 2023, it grew by a whopping 150-200%. Against growth of only 10-30% for conventional grapes. Not surprising, given the growing interest in pure and natural products and a focus on biodiversity conservation. Organic grapes mean less water consumption and CO2 emissions and healthier soil.
With autumn and winter just around the corner, it's time again to plan your overseas grape programme! From week 50, we welcome the first white grapes from South Africa. Followed in January by both red and black grapes from South Africa and Chile. All are seedless!
In addition to South African season, Eosta will, like last year, be the only one to offer organic black and red grapes from Chile. This allows us to supply organic, seedless grapes until week 20.
The quality and availability of grapes look promising this year, also the situation at South African ports seems more stable, so we expect a reliable supply.
Our organic grapes are available in various packaging, including bowl/flow, 4.5 kg in paper bags, and 400-gram bowls.
Reserve your organic overseas grapes in good time. Contact your account manager for more information.
The overseas grape season starts in mid-December, but planning begins now. Demand for organic grapes remains strong and our growers need early visibility on the volumes they can reserve for fixed programmes. By aligning programmes in advance, we can secure organic volumes more effectively and are also in a stronger position to offer competitive pricing.
Along the Orange River in South Africa’s Northern Cape lies Carpe Diem, a long-standing and trusted partner for our organic grapes. Owner Gog van der Colff took over the family business in 2000 and made the deliberate decision to switch to organic farming in 2006. What began as a step that not everyone was initially convinced by has developed into a progressive organic farm producing grapes, pecans and raisins.
El Niño is clearly affecting the South American mango season this year. Higher temperatures and unusual rainfall patterns are disrupting flowering, making availability and harvest timing less predictable.
